الملخص EN

In early tenth higri century, the sixteenth (AD) century; the African coasts witnessed the arrival of the pioneers of the European colonial powers in modern era.

That was represented by the Portuguese invation to the eastern coast of Africa, which was considered as an extension to the European Crusades.

In this research I work on exhibiting the religious and the economic incentives of the Portuguese colonialism, as they were the basic factors invasion.

The Portuguese concern about the east African coast is attributed to two main reasons, these are:(l) termination of Arab Islamic existence and dominating its trade in the area and (2) preparing this coast to be a supply station to the Portuguese ships in their way to and form India, that is to say.

to serve as an outer base to provide security and protection to this significant navigation line.

Also I try to exhibit the role of jihad movement of the ommani Arabs which led to the expulsion of the Portuguese from the east African coast.

This action, truly considered to be the turning point in the history of the Islam.

In this area and wich contributed too much in penetration of Islamic religion and its wide spred in the depth of Africa, moreover, this coast became an Islamic radiating center, which Transfer the Islamic civilization all round the black continent.
